Most Clutch points in the NBA?

Joel Embiid, and it ain’t close. The margin between him and #2 (LeBron) is 1.5 PPG, the same margin between LeBron and Devin Booker, in 20th.

Quote
Joel Embiid has scored 82 points in the clutch (five-point differential or less in the last five minutes of a game) this season. No other player in the NBA has more than 59 points in clutch situations (Kevin Durant and Jayson Tatum are tied for second-most with 59)


Quote
NBA’s [Clutch] Leaders:

PTS: Joel Embiid
FTA: Joel Embiid
BLK: Joel Embiid

[TRAILING BY or LEADING BY 5 or less points in the final 3 minutes of the 4th Quarter]

Embiid is shooting 50% from the Mid Range in the 4th Quarter thru 11 games since returning from Covid. Joel Embiid’s shooting splits in the clutch are 51.9/41.7/71.9, and he’s averaging just 0.5 turnovers in those minutes.


Side note: Embiid is also the NBA's all-time leading PPG scorer per 36. B)

Agreed. Hard to call someone clutch when you can't even depend on them to be healthy/available

No need to cherry pick here, it's pretty straight forward.

Shitting on the rest of the league in the clutch department.

I mean i'm just going based off NBA's definition of clutch points which they've had in place for many year now.

NBA.com has a "Player Clutch" section in which they define clutch as the last five minutes of a game in which the point differential is 5 or less.

Idk about 2 minutes, but i'd imagine Embiid is up there. He went absolutely bonkers in the last 2 or 3 minute last night on like 4 straight possessions.
